Help with purchasing Cartier Santos Demoiselle Watch

[meghankkg]

Hi all,

My birthday is coming up in February and I am wanting to buy a new small two tone (18k/SS) Santos Demoiselle watch for myself. I want to go to an authorized dealer to buy the watch, what do you think is a reasonable deal on the watch and what would be an amazing deal on the watch?
(I think retail is $6,100).

If anyone can recommend an authorized dealer (AD) please pm me (an AD in the Atlanta area would be even better).

Thanks for any help (this is my first major watch purchase and I need all the help I can get!),

Meghan

I know Cartier are able to offer up to 20% off of their watches at their boutiques.

There's a Cartier store at the following address:

Lenox Square Mall
3393 Peachtree Road N.E.
30326 Atlanta, GA

atlanta@cartier.com
Tel: 404-841-0840

Other AD that carry Cartier watches in Atlanta are Mayors, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Tourneau.

Thanks for the helpful info! Do you (or anyone else) happen to know of any local (not chain) authorized dealers?

That's all the info that came up when I looked on Cartier's website for AD in Atlanta that sell the watches.

I had purchased mine from the Cartier Boutique in 2006- here's a pic. (no discounts ), it is a gorgeous watch, wow the prices have gone up quite a bit, back then it was $5750, good luck and happy early b-day!, besides Cartier, Saks and NM has them too.

Oh its so fabulous! I cannot wait!! I think I will try the boutique first. Depending on the discount (if any) then maybe Tourneau. At least I can do my part to help the economy :)

I have this watch too! and love it ... I got a slightly different version that's a bit more expensive but has a gold case. I got mine from Saks and got a 10% discount plus a $750 gift card but this was before the economy really tanked, so I think you can get a better deal today. I had a few more links removed after I took this pic.

I bought a 2-tone Cartier Francaise last summer at Saks.

They gave me 10% off and I opened the card, and got another 10% off.

Then the gift card was about $500.00, but next week if you spend $3000.00, you can get a $1000.00 gift card.

So for the watch of $6100.00, the first 10% off would bring it down to $5490, then the extra 10% would make it $4941.00, plus order it from a Saks out of state and send it to your house and you pay NO SALES TAX, and then get the $1000.00 gift card.

You would save $1200.00, plus NO TAX, and get the $1000.00 to spend..

Good Luck

Great advice ladies! This is going to be easier than I thought :)

JayJay, I love the gold case, how much more was it (if you don't mind me asking) than the typical SS case? I like the gold even more than the one I tried on!

To be honest I can't remember exactly but I think it was $750 more -- however now looking on the web at prices it may be $1400 more, but Cartier keeps changing (increasing) their prices. For me it was worth it. FYI -- the style # is W25063Z6. I think this is a new style for 2008. I really love all the versions of this watch, hope you find one you love!
